Mainstream cloud storage like Google Drive and Dropbox costs around $5 to $6 per TB. Should privacy-first alternatives cost more? 💸

Privacy shouldn't come at a premium. After all, it should be the standard.

If you use Hide My Email because you care about your privacy... it's not working 🫣

Here's what Apple's Hide My Email is supposed to do: instead of handing out your real email when you sign up for something, you share a random alias so your real address stays private.

Here's what's actually happening: someone can look up that alias and find your real email anyway.

Security researcher Tyler Murphy discovered the flaw in June 2025 and reported it to Apple. Apple said it fixed it in March 2026, but it clearly hadn't. Every address Murphy tested was exploitable. The flaw is still live today, more than a year later.

It seems privacy is not a priority for Apple

‼️ BREAKING: Apple's Hide My Email lets almost anyone uncover the real address behind a "hidden" alias, and Apple has left it unpatched for over a year.

It was reported to Apple in June 2025 by Tyler Murphy of EasyOptOuts. He says every Hide My Email address checked in limited volunteer tests was exploitable.

If you use Hide My Email to keep a real address off people-search sites or away from someone dangerous, treat that anonymity as unreliable.

Hey so, it's through user reports aka they find copyrighted material through publicly shared links and report it to us.

We don't read your files, that's technically impossible 🤷‍♂️

[MEGA @MEGAprivacy]

Microsoft charges €99/year for 1 TB of storage that Copilot can read.

We charge the same for 3 TB of secure cloud storage that literally no one can read, not even us.

Make it make sense 🙄

Good [AI summary] research. Let's fact check it for you

· The 2018 "breach" was credential stuffing aka reused passwords from other sites. MEGA was not compromised. (https://t.co/wJWGzEAOhS)

· The Chrome extension was a Google infrastructure issue aka they removed publisher signing. Patched in 4 hours and no keys or user data exposed. (https://t.co/a09eKo4Urm, read up to the very bottom :) )

· The ETH Zurich report found theoretical vulnerabilities requiring MEGA to be a bad actor OR a full TLS compromise to exploit. Transparently addressed and patched. No accounts compromised. (https://t.co/hmh6297QhU)

Hope that helps

After quietly dropping Persona following a breach, Discord partners with Incode to process your data during verification 🫥

Discord says Incode processes your biometric data on-device without storing it server-side. But that's exactly what they said about Persona until researchers found nearly 2,500 files sitting exposed on a government-connected server in February.

And this is the same platform that had 70,000 government ID photos exposed in a data breach just last October.

Their CTO says this is legally required in countries like the UK and that more vendor options are coming. That's fair. But a platform asking for your face and your ID, with that track record?

Would you still trust it?

[Wumpus Central @WumpusCentral]

Discord is beginning to implement Incode for age verification, a move that is already sparking serious privacy concerns among users. While Discord claims that Incode processes biometric data locally via on-device AI without permanent server-side logging, sharing sensitive IDs and selfies with any third-party vendor remains a massive red flag for many. Given Incode's controversial history with platforms like TikTok, where the vendor was heavily criticized for long retention periods and storing biometric data server-side, users who expect strict privacy are highly skeptical about handing over their biometrics, regardless of Discord's current technology claims.

@imecge Keep posted 😉

[MEGA @MEGAprivacy]

Correction: Persona was always server-side, which is actually why Discord dropped them. Whether Incode's on-device claim holds up in practice remains to be seen.

To recap: Google asks for your camera to verify you're human, makes you do hand gestures, and... you can beat it with a stock photo 😂

As expected, the privacy invasion of this reCAPTCHA is real, but the security and effectiveness? Not so much.

What do you think is the next verification 'solution' Google will think of? https://t.co/vx30dZa6Em

*Google gives you 5 GB free, then 10 GB more AFTER your give them your phone number

Look for alternatives that give you storage without giving away your privacy https://t.co/Sr3t3QfV9I

[Titanium @akinkunmi]

Why do you want that?

Google gives you 15GB for free, syncs with all other Google workspace apps and it's very reliable.

I think building it is a waste of time, doesn't provide any value other than being opensource and no one is going to use it. Even you.

[MEGA @MEGAprivacy]

@StonedModder We don't randomly delete files, chat. It's industry practice after a long period of inactivity. Google does it too.

As long as you use MEGA apps and services once in a while, you're good. Plus, we send you multiple warning emails 🤷‍♂️
